How should someone prepare for NEET-PG/AIIMS-PG/JIPMER-PG/PGIMER/SGPGIMS/NIMHANS right from 1st year of MBBS?
During the 1st year of your MBBS, you should try to read the textbooks and build up basic concepts.
- Go through Dr. Najeeb Lectures and make notes from them. The time you invest going through these lectures will be worth it.
- Other than Dr. Najeeb Lectures, you can follow Guyton for Physiology. BDC and Gray’s Anatomy for Anatomy and Lippincott for Biochemistry.
- Buy some MCQ books and start solving them, only when you have a decent grasp of the concept.
Randomly solving MCQ, right from the beginning won’t do any good. First, you should clear your concept, this will help you solve the problems efficiently. These examinations usually require you to apply the knowledge of 3-4 subjects in a single question. You should know how to apply the knowledge of the basic subjects to it.
Comments
One of my friends faced the same situation in his first year in MBBS and never found a solution. However, you will find the answer by the time you come in 3rd-year.
The following table provides some recent information about the availability of seats in PG.
| Total number of MD + MS + Diploma seats in India | 28,715 |
| Total number of MD+ MS+ Diploma government seats. | 18,657 |
| Number of Government qualified PG institutes in India | 64 |
Key highlights:
- The first task is to build the concepts and not get puzzled by everything. Those concepts will have to be applied to answer MCQs in the PG entrance exams.
- The topics which are in high demand must be given prime priority. A priority list can be made by going through the previous year's papers and sorting out the necessary topics.
- Understanding the format of the exam is utterly necessary and is the key to crack it. While solving a question, you must apply knowledge from two or more subjects.
- All dissection, physiology, and biochemistry practical classes are very essential and the student should attend them. Those even help in pathology in the upcoming years of study.
- If necessary, the candidate can think of taking a coaching class from the 3rd year of MBBS for PG entrances. It is not usually preferred to opt for in the early years.
Finally, the student should work as planned throughout the preparation. Having a passion for medical knowledge plays an important role to convert the hard-work into success.
